The design of buried underground flexible pipes proposed in domestic standards does not properly reflect changes in ground characteristics. Overseas standards suggest that pipe deflection must be considered while designing them. Therefore, in this study, the structural behavior of underground polyvinyl chloride pipes was investigated through experiments and the finite element analysis. In addition, when the pipe deflection occurred at 3% and 5%, the hydraulic characteristics of the polyvinyl chloride pipe showed a slight difference compared to the round pipe.

To secure approval for a decommissioning plan in Korea, it is essential to evaluate contamination dispersion through groundwater during the decommissioning process. To achieve this, licensees must assess the groundwater characteristics of the facility’s site and subsequently develop a groundwater flow model. It is worth noting that Combustible Radioactive Waste Treatment Facility (CRWTF) is characterized by their simplicity and absence of liquid radioactive waste generation. Given these facility characteristics, the groundwater flow model for CRWTF utilizes data from neighboring facilities, with the feasibility of using reference data substantiated through comparative analysis involving groundwater characteristic testing and on-site modeling. To enable a comparison between the actual site’s groundwater characteristics and the referenced modeling, two types of hydraulic constant characterization tests were conducted. First, hydraulic conductivity was determined through long-term pumping and recovery tests. The ‘Theis’ and ‘Cooper-Jacob’ equations, along with the ‘Theis recovery’ equation, were applied to calculate hydraulic conductivity, and the final result adopted the average of the calculated values. Secondly, a groundwater flow test was conducted to confirm the alignment between the main flow direction of the referenced model and the groundwater flow in the CRWTF, utilizing the particle tracking technique. The evaluation of hydraulic conductivity from the hydraulic constant test revealed that the measured value at the actual site was approximately 1.84 times higher than the modeled value. This variance is considered valid, taking into consideration the modeling’s calibration range and the fact that measurements were taken during a period characterized by wet conditions. Furthermore, a close correspondence was observed between the groundwater flow direction in the reference model (ranging from 90° to 170°) and the facility’s actual flow direction (ranging from 78° to 95°). The results of reference data for the CRWTF, based on the nearby facility’s model, were validated through the hydraulic properties test. Consequently, the modeling data can be employed for the demolition plan of CRWTF. It is also anticipated that these comparative analysis methods will be instrumental in shaping the groundwater investigation plans for facilities with characteristics similar to CRWTF.

A hydraulic system is a driving or transmission system that uses high pressure hydraulic fluid to power hydraulic machinery. It refers to the transfer of energy from flow and pressure. A hydraulic pump is a mechanical source of power that converts mechanical power into hydraulic energy. Cavitation is the formation of vapor cavities in liquid that are the consequence of forces acting upon the liquid. It usually occurs when a liquid is subjected to rapid changes of pressure that cause the formation of cavities where the pressure is relatively low. In this study, a cavitation was measured when the vane pump is rotating. The rotation speed of the vane pump was tested at 1000 rpm to 5000 rpm. At that time, the temperature and pressure of each hydraulic oil were changed and controlled. The results show that flow rate and noise are changed when cavitation occurs.

Numerical analysis has been carried out to investigate thermal characteristics for hydraulic system. Overall performance of hydraulic system is largely influenced by oil flow field with heat transfer. Especially thermal characteristics for operating conditions with high oil temperature caused by heavy load and continuous operation are dominant. Oil temperature variation with time in the system is predicted for various flow conditions. Local fluid flow fields at the pipelines, valves, and oil pump in the hydraulic system are considered with thermodynamic and transport properties such as density and viscosity. These results in the study can be applied to the optimal design of hydraulic system.

Experimental analysis has been carried out to investigate oil temperature control characteristics of the hydraulic system in a special vehicle. Hydraulic system performance is largely affected by oil temperature, and there are considerable malfunctions in the system for high temperature conditions caused by heavy load and continuous operation. Oil pressure in the hydraulic system decreases with oil temperature, and its variation rate becomes less steep as oil temperature increases. There is severe time delay for oil temperature control due to the operation of heat exchanger system, and it depends on the oil flow rate and pressure in the system. These results in this study can be applied to the design of automatic thermal control system in the special vehicle hydraulic system.

Counter balance valve is used as one part of hydraulic motor brake system. The function of this valve is to protect over-run or free falling of inertia load. But occasionally the brake system with counter balance valve makes some undesirable problems such as pressure surges or vibrations. These problems may hurt system safety and driver's conformability. Nevertheless, studies on dynamic characteristics of hydraulic system including counter balance valve are very rare, so further accumulation of research results are required. In this study, for the purpose of easy estimation about dynamic characteristics of hydraulic system including counter balance valve, precise formulation describing fluid dynamics and valve dynamics under various boundary conditions were made. The equations obtained in the preceding process include some parameters that must be got experimentally. Flow coefficients of valve and choke are the most significant ones among the parameters. So these parameters are obtained experimentally in this study, and experimental equations obtained from the experimental data were used for numerical calculation. The equations were analysed by numerical integration using Runge-Kutta method, because the equations contain various nonlinear terms. From the numerical analysis, it was verified that the dynamic response of counter balance valve and pressure variation at each elements can be estimated very easily. So the analysing method developed in this study enabled very easy estimating the relation between the performances of counter balance valve and various physical parameters related to the valve. Conclusively, it is said that the results obtained in this study can be used very usefully to develop a new type counter balance valve or to apply the valve to actual hydraulic system for various industrial equipments.

In this study, the sensitivity analysis of hydraulic conductivity and separation distance (distance between injection well and pumping well) was analyzed by establishing a conceptual model considering the hydrogeologic characteristics of facility agricultural complex in Korea. In the conceptual model, natural characteristics (topography and geology, precipitation, hydraulic conductivity, etc.) and artificial characteristics (separation distance from injection well to pumping well, injection rate and pumping rate, etc.) is entered, and sensitivity analysis was performed 12 scenarios using a combination of hydraulic conductivity (10-1 cm/sec, 10-2 cm/sec, 10-3 cm/sec, 10-4 cm/sec) and separation distance (10 m, 50 m, 100 m). Groundwater drawdown at the monitoring well was increased as the hydraulic conductivity decreased and the separation distance increased. From the regression analysis of groundwater drawdown as a hydraulic conductivity at the same separation distance, it was found that the groundwater level fluctuation of artificial recharge aquifer was dominantly influenced by hydraulic conductivity. In the condition that the hydraulic conductivity of artificial recharge aquifer was 10-2 cm/sec or more, the radius of influence of groundwater level was within 20 m, but In the condition that the hydraulic conductivity is 10-3 cm/sec or less, it is confirmed that the radius of influence of groundwater increases sharply as the separation distance increases.

This study was carried out to identify the problems of the underground watersheds on Jeju Island, and to establish the hydraulic groundwater basin to be used as basis for the analysis of the groundwater model. In order to evaluate the adequacy of the groundwater basin on Jeju Island, a correlation analysis between elevation and groundwater level was conducted using data from 125 observation wells. The analysis, conducted with an elevation step of 100 m, exhibited values of R2 in the range 0.1653-0.8011. No clear correlation was observed between elevation and groundwater level. In particular, the eastern and western areas showed an inverse proportionality between elevation and groundwater level. The Kriging technique was used to analyze the underground water level data and to define the equipotential lines for all areas of Jeju Island. Eight groundwater watersheds were delineated by considering the direction of groundwater flow, the positions of the observation wells, and the long and short axes of the watersheds.

Numerical analysis using commercial CFD code was carried out to develop the drag force type vertical axis hydraulic turbine for the improvement of the production efficiency of small hydro energy at low flow velocity condition. Blade pressure changes and internal flows were analyzed according to the presence or absence of the hydraulic turbine blade holes at flow velocity of less than 1.0~3.0 m/s. According to the numerical results, the pressure and flow velocity is severly affected by the flow velocity in turbine blade with no holes, while the influence of flow velocity is comparatively decreased in turbine blade with holes. It is also found that the pressure and flow velocity on the blade surface with holes are evenly distributed with no singular location and it is believed that forming a hole in the blade may be helpful in terms of structural safety.

하도지형, 하상재료 및 수리의 특성은 치수 및 환경적 측면에서 하천의 계획, 설계 및 유지관리를 위한 기초정보이며, 이러한 정보를 안정하도 설 계에 활용하는 것은 아주 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 남강댐 상류 구간에 대하여 지배유량을 산정하고, 지배유량 유하시의 하도지형 및 수리 특성을 분석하였다. 또한, 화상처리기법으로 하상재료분포 특성을 분석하였고, 하상재료와 흐름저항의 상호관계를 평가하였다. 대상구간의 지배유량은 1.5년 빈도의 유량으로 산정되었고, 하천유형은 세그먼트 1과 세그먼트 2 구간으로 분류되었다. 또한 여울-소의 출현 빈도는 4.4로 나타났는데, 이는 연구 대상구간에는 하천횡단구조물이 없는 자연하천의 특성을 가지고 있기 때문이다. 지배유량 유하시 하상재료에 의한 흐름저항을 산정하 기 위하여 수심-대표입경 비(h/d50)와 평균유속-마찰력 비(V/u*)의 관계를 분석한 결과, 자갈-호박돌-전석이 지배적인 하상재료인 구간에서는 Julien 공식이 적합한 것으로 평가되었으며, 자갈, 호박돌 및 전석이 지배적인 하천구간에서 면격자를 이용한 화상처리기법은 향후 하상재료 분석 시 쉽게 활용할 수 있는 방법임을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 홍천강과 섬진강을 대상으로 하천에 존재하는 다양한 형태의 여울을 체계적으로 분류하고, 물리적 및 수리학적 특성을 분석하였다. 여울의 길이와 폭 비율을 기준으로 긴 형태와 넓은 형태로 분류하고, 상.하류 폭의 변화 정도를 기준으로 집중 형태와 확산 형태로 분류하였다. 또한 흐름의 물결 형태에 따라 떨어지는 형태, 미끄러지는 형태, 약한 파도 및 약한 도수로 분류하였다. 떨어지는 형태와 미끄러지는 형태는 주로 큰 돌 주위의 다양한 입경을 지닌 하상에서 발생하였으며, 약한 파도와 약한 도수는 주로 잔 돌 주위에서 발생하였다. 여울의 흐름 방향 경사는 가운데 부분에서 위로 볼록하였으며, 하류측으로 갈수록 경사가 커졌다. 여울의 종적 구조에 따른 물결형태를 구분하여 보면, 여울의 집중 형태에서는 흐름 방향으로 약한 파도, 미끄러지는 형태 및 약한 도수가 발생하였다. 긴 형태의 경우, 흐름방향으로 약한 파도, 미끄러지는 형태 및 떨어지는 형태가 발생하였다. 넓은 형태의 여울에서는 약한 파도, 약한 도수 및 약한 파도, 약한 도수가 발생하였다.

댐붕괴에 의해 발생하는 홍수파는 초기수심의 깊이에 따라서 하류부로 전달되는 수리학적 특성이 다르게 나타나며, 수치모의 시 흐름저항응력은 충격파의 전파 속도, 도달 거리 및 접근 수심 등에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 천수방정식을 SU/PG 기법으로 이산화한 모형을 개발하고 해석해를 이용하여 모형을 검증한 후, 초기수심 및 흐름저항응력에 따른 댐붕괴류의 전파특성을 분석하였다. 바닥마찰력을 적용한 경우 수심은 상대적으로 컸으나 충격파의 도달거리는 짧게 나타났다. Coulomb 응력을 적용한 경우 댐붕괴 후면에서의 유속이 상대적으로 작게 나타났으나, 충격파가 도달하는 영역에서는 바닥마찰력을 적용한 값과 흐름저항응력을 고려하지 않은 값 사이의 유속을 보였다. 또한 초기수심에 관계없이 흐름 저항응력을 고려하지 않은 경우의 불연속면에서의 Fr 수가 1.0에 가장 근사하였다. 초기수심이 얕은 경우 Coulomb 응력에 의한 모의결과가 난류응력을 적용한 경우에 비해 우수한 모의결과를 도출하였으나, 초기수심이 깊어지는 경우 흐름저항항의 영향력이 소멸되므로 반대의 양상이 나타났다.
